In the wake of the recent hurricanes Helene and Milton, power outages plagued millions. Whole communities were plunged into literal darkness, without light or the ability to use other electrical appliances.
But there were a few exceptions. One was in Florida, in the coastal town of Cortez.
While many areas in Florida faced devastating power outages and chaos, the residents of Hunters Point – a groundbreaking net-zero development – remained unaffected. Their lights continued shining bright even as storms wreaked havoc nearby. Why? Because it was built to run on its own solar power.
It’s become clear that investing in solar is a matter of life and death during natural disasters. Yet, despite this shining example, many communities remain vulnerable, and the threat of Climate change looms larger than ever.
Please sign this petition to call on leaders in hurricane-prone states like Florida, Louisiana, and North Carolina to prioritize solar power!
